LEARNING ACTIVITY SHEET (LAS)

WEEK 3. Produce Ladies’ Skirt

Background information for the Learner

In making any garment, the first step is to take the body measurements. Then select a
fabric which will give you the least difficulty during construction. The quality of fabric is important
in the construction of a garment. A fabric with a firm texture can be cut easily. It also allows a
more accurate fitting as compared to a fabric with loose weave. Last, but not least, gather all
necessary materials like needles, threads, pins, and other items before you start sewing.

Body Measurements for a Skirt

1. Waistline Measurement. Run

the tape measure around the
waistline. (A)
This is the measurement around the
smallest part of your waist. You can
tie a string around to find the smallest
part. Wrap the tape around first to
find your natural waist, then measure.
*When measuring a circumference ,
put two fingers under the tape
measure. This will serve as additional
allowance.

2. Lower Hip Measurement.. On

the other side of the hip, run
the tape measure from the
waistline level to the level
where the buttocks are fullest.
This will be where the lower hip
level will fall. (B)

3. Lower HipLine. Run the tape

measure along the lower hip
level where the buttocks are
fullest. If the stomach is
prominent or rounded add an
allowance of 2 or more inches
(or 5.1 cm. or more) until the
fullness of the stomach is
covered. (C) This is done so
that the skirt will fall nicely and
not bulge around the stomach
area

 4. Skirt length. Run the tape
measure from the waistline
level down to the skirt length
desired. (D) Skirt length may
vary depending on the skirt
style. Note down the varying
skirt length that you may
desire, like mini length, channel
length, midi length, etc.

Drafting Basic/Block Pattern of the Skirt

Patterns are carefully drafted to give accurate results. They serve as valuable guide in laying,
cutting and assembling the different parts during sewing. Pattern drafting gives the dressmaker a
blueprint of what a garment will look like. It also serves as a guide for the dressmaker.

Two kinds of Patterns

1. Foundation Pattern is a simple pattern which contains the exact body measurements and
reflects no definite style, It has five parts: back blouse, front blouse, back skirt, front skirt, and
sleeve. Each part has a dart except the sleeve. This pattern serves as a basis for preparing the
style pattern.
2. Style Pattern- shows the style of the garment to be constructed. It contains the necessary
seam allowances that are found in the finished garment.
In drafting the foundation pattern, the following materials should be ready:
1.Pattern paper (positioned on its lengthwise grain)
2.Pencil with eraser
3.Tape measure
4.Ruler
5.Hip guide
6.Scissors

Pattern Markings are universal symbols and lines designed to help the sewer put the pattern
pieces together quickly, easily and successfully. Every marking is necessary for specific reason.
Not every marking is on every pattern because some are specific to a certain style or
construction technique. Construction markings are very helpful during the sewing process and
transferring them to the fabric is a must.
Project Plan for Ladies’ Skirt
Project Planning is the underlying base behind every successful project. This serves as a
guide in making a quality and beautiful project. It should be well structured and carefully drafted.
It should contain the materials and tools to be used, design and procedure in making the project
and the criteria for evaluating the finished output coupled with rubrics designed by the teacher
and students.
Components of a Project Plan
1. Project Plan No. – reflects the number of projects
2. Date Started – date when the construction of the project will start.
3. Date Finished – the exact date when the project will be completed
4. Name of the Project – a specific description of the job/ project.
5. Objectives - states the purpose why a project should be done. This is usually stated in
three learning domains: the cognitive, psychomotor and affective.
6. Tools and Equipment – list of tools and equipment in the accomplishment of the job
7. Materials and Supplies Needed – the itemized list of tools and supplies needed to
produce a project.
a. Quantity suggests the amount needed.
b. Unit is the unit of measure of the quantity.
c. Description refers to the features and characteristics of the materials and supply
needed.
d. Unit Cost is the selling price per quantity and unit of the materials
e. Total Cost is the total amount needed per quantity of supply and material needed.
f. Total is the over-all total cost of all the supplies and materials to be used.
8. Design Specifications – the photographic representation of the project in two to five
views: front, back, right, left and top views.
9. Procedure – the chronological steps or operations involved to accomplish the project.
This is divided into two stages:
a. Preparation stage – depicts the preparation to be done before the actual execution
or performance of the operations.
b. Performance stage – the actual procedures involve in the actual making of the
project where all tools, supplies, materials and equipment
intended to make the project ready.
10.Evaluation – the process of assessing the finished project with its given criteria
prepared during planning and evaluating.

Drafting the Fundamental Lines for the Skirt
A. The Skirt Pattern (front and back)
In drafting the skirt (front and back) pattern, locating the four major lines will simplify your drafting
activities.

Procedure
1. On your pattern paper, draw a perpendicular line T.
Mark the midpoint as 1.
2. From 1, measure 1 cm down to get 2.
3. From 1, measure 1½ cm down to get 3.
4. From 1, measure 18 cm to 25 cm down to get 4.
5. From 2, apply the front skirt length down tom get 5F
6. From 3, apply the back skirt length down to get 5B.
7. Square 4 and 5B to the left.
8. Square 4 and 5F to the right.
